The best camping near Chicot State Park guide

Overview

About

Access wild areas of a bayou in south-central Louisiana. There is a boat launch, a fishing pier, and a dock. Take advantage of the boat rental facilities if you didn't bring yours.

Fish for a trophy catch of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and red-ear sunfish. Cool, clear waters of the lake have yielded several record catches of these fish.

Hike or mountain bike up to 20 miles of trails. Some trails lead to a cypress swamp on the edge of the lake. An 8-mile paddling trail puts you up close and personal with a wide range of ecosystems.

Visit the Louisiana State Arboretum State Preservation Area for a real treat. View centuries-old magnolia, beech, oak, and ash trees. The site contains more than 150 native plant species in a wide range of ecosystems.

Reserve one of nearly 200 improved campsites. Fifteen deluxe cabins await you.

When to go

The best time to visit Chicot State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings heat and humidity, which can be intense, while winter may have cooler temperatures and fewer visitors.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities accordingly.
  • Remember to pack insect repellent, as the park's natural setting is home to various insects.
  • Stay on designated trails to protect the park's wildlife and your own safety.
  • Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to bring essentials like water and snacks.
